An Ad That Celebrates Women

Nike’s great new commercial celebrates the 40th anniversary of Title IX ( http://www.titleix.info/ ). The ad honors women athletes for overcoming sexism and breaking barriers. Featuring boxer Marlen Esparza, marathoner Joan Benoit Samuelson and basketball star Lisa Leslie, the commercial cleverly revisits the dark ages of women’s athletics, when women and sports weren’t supposed to mix. Yay for women playing sports and kicking ass! There should be more ads like this!
